In the West, shortsighted self-interest resulted in devastating environmental losses. Niels S. Nokkentved hopes writing about these issues encourages people to think like a mountain and consider long-term consequences. His insightful essays examine cultural conflicts over resource extraction, threats to watersheds, wolf recovery, effects of livestock grazing, and vanishing sage grouse. Other themes include the value of forest fires and beavers, failed promise.
